Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Use of Psychological Tests in the Educational and Vocational Guidance of High School Pupils: Revised and Enlarged Edition When Professor Terman´s book on The Intelligence of School Children appeared, it became evident that Leland Stanford Junior University was the center of a surprisingly extensive investigation of human mentality. It was clear that records were being made, not once, but repeatedly, with reference to the same children and that many of these children were being kept under observation throughout their school careers and even beyond. In other words, the common curse of our educational inquiries, in virtue of which nothing is studied hard enough and long enough to reach fundamental results, seemed to have been lifted from the efforts of the Stanford group of men and women. One of the members of the Stanford group is Dr. William M. Proctor, the author of this book. He has given particular attention to high-school pupils and to underclassmen in college and it is to these groups that he has applied his tests. These tests are for the most part such as may be given to large numbers of persons simultaneously. Instruments of this kind have been appropriately called group tests, in contradistinction to the individual or interview tests in the use of which an examiner handles only one person at a time. The history of the development of these group tests to their present status has been sketched in a number of places. It is generally and correctly understood that the prototype of all the present group intelligence tests is the collection of examinations loosely termed the Army Tests. From the Army Tests, either in direct descent or by collateral branches, has sprung a large progeny in the form of group intelligence scales or tests. The use of these tests has already become enormous. To a certain extent the persons who have devised them have become victims of this popularity. When the school people will buy and use these tests by the millions, there is a temptation for authors to rush them into print without sufficient preliminary analysis and without extensive trial in practical situations.
